I also want to 301 redirect any url that ends in .php. Then I internally redirect anything that ends in a / to the name before / plus .php. These both work fine when they are alone. But putting them in the same .htaccess I get a The page isn't redirecting properly.
What am I doing wrong here?
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.php [QSA,L]
These rules should work for you:
RewriteEngine On
## Adding a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule . %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301]
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /dir/file.php to /dir/file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(.+?)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/ [R=301,L,NE]
# To internally forward /dir/file/ to /dir/file.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.php [L]
